| Bio: | Hello! My name's Rider. This is my livejournal, isn't it just lovely? *looks at it* ...No comment. Ummm...Read the Amber series. You'll probably like it. ----------------------------- The above has been my profile for...several years on this thing, because I'm terrible at writing profiles. I decided I might as well write another one. Well, here it is: My online username is Rider, you can refer to me as such. I also answer to "hey you" or whatever, just don't use my real name if you know it. Much obliged. For those of you who don't know me, well, friend away. There's nothing interesting on this journal anyway. ^__^ I post fic here from various fandoms, and occasional drawings. Alas, I am a storyteller, not a writer, but I try - those of you who know me in person are aware of my tendency to tell stories until my throat runs dry and my voice threatens to give out. My memory is terrible, though, so the stories usually vanish. Whatever I'm currently interested in will be posted the most, though older fandoms will sneak in here and there - once I get an obsession, I almost never give it up. Things that will always spark my interest: anything historical, anything mythological, and (this is a very limited section) vampires or other supernatural creatures. I'm a Religious Studies major, with a second major in either Economics or History (or, preferably, both!) NO, this does not mean that I'm religious! I'm agnostic, thank-ye-very-much. I happen to be obsessed with mythology - all types thereof, though admittedly I only claim mastery of Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Norse, and even those ones I won't stop studying until I know everything...which may take a while. This, by virtue of my college offering a lot of courses by the seductive names of "Classical Mythology", "Satan and the Angels", and "Religion in Ancient Egypt", somehow turned into a Religious studies major. Mythology may be my first love, but history is a close second, particularly European history. Some periods more than others, of course - my current fascination is with the French Revolution - but I am liable to start ranting about how understudied student culture in Elizabethean times is. Mostly, though, I fixate on people - my favorite genre (after sci-fi/fantasy, anyway!) is biography, and one of the careers I'm seriously considering is to write biographies of various figures I like. I'm currently developing an interest in politics - I'm an extremely cynical moderately liberal independent with a historical bent, living in the United States. By United States, I mean New York City, because I like to pretend that the rest of it (excluding certain bits of CA) does not exist. By historical, I mean that I will occasionally side with the conservative side of an issue because of my interest in history - I'll oppose the tearing down of an old building, even if we could build a much more progressive one, to use an inoffensive example. I'm voting Democrat in the next election, because I despise the Republicans, though you'll often hear me claiming that the Democrats have a wonderful tendency to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, a fact that will often depress me. By independent I mean not that I'm likely to switch over to the Republican side any time soon (hell no), but that I'm ashamed to attach my name to those creatures currently representing the Democratic party. By moderate, I mean that my opinions on things are all across the board - but I'm open to convincing, if you dare. And finally, by cynical, I mean that I'm the one in the politics class looking confused that you don't agree with my assertion that corruption is the status quo of politics, that if they're doing an excellent job otherwise we can overlook a bit of patronage and nepotism here and there, and that incorruptible politicians are a thing of the past...but that if we find one that is only a little bit corrupt and is competent, we should cling to them like glue and worship the ground they walk upon, because they're better than the other bastards out there. But you're welcome to change my mind. Oh, and one last thing - I have an evil sense of humor. VERY evil. I will make jokes about everything, and I do mean everything. There are very few subjects that are taboo in my family - we're the guys making death jokes at the funeral. I'll apologise for the bad ones, if you ask me to, but don't get angry, because I'll almost never be dead serious on any subject. Partially serious, sure. Completely? I'm not sure that's possible. Well, that's me. I'll probably fix this in a few days...or years. Whichever first. | |||||
